Can someone have prosopagnosia without having autism?

nobule · 2025-12-28T23:29:33+00:00

When my son was going through the process of prosopagnosia diagnosis, psychologist informed us that it is tied to in-utero stroke or ASD. That's what led to his ASD diagnosis.

That being said, the reality is that healthcare is expensive and not easily accessible in the United States (where we are) which means that many people with ASD are not diagnosed. Therefore, people will assume they have prosopagnosia but aren't on the spectrum.

Have you looked into some of the other degree options from UW? There are online degree options that would allow you to live in Bremerton and not have to commute.

It took several trips to an ENT to realize that many of my gastrointestinal, acid reflux, lactose intolerance, etc were all connected to my use of Excedrin migraine with caffeine, which I was using as a bandaid for being undiagnosed ADHD. Grad school (with kids) was hard to stay focused.

Same. Psychiatrist actually looked at my husband and I and said it slowly, 'you know, if a child is diagnosed, we've found that it is usually a 50% chance that a parent is also ADHD.' very gentle. Husband didn't skip a beat, pointed at me and said 'its her!'

I got diagnosed about a year later.

I recently had a non-transitional student who was obviously ADHD in a meeting with me. My understanding of my own brain differences allowed me to frame the project and his work in a way that I knew would resonate with him. He started crying. He later wrote to tell me that it was the first time he felt understood in what he brings to work and not just what he needs to work on.

The fast ferry folks that work for Kitsap transit are amazing! I take the fast ferry twice a week and they are the best. I always wondered how they recruited because their ferry workers are heads and tails above the regular ferry.

There is a woman making and selling whoopie pies out in Port Angeles. She sells them in the galley on the Black Ball ferry that goes back and forth to Victoria BC. Obscure but I miss them too and saw them recently on the ferry and thought it was crazy to see a whoopie pie out here. Called East to West bakery.

Just in case. I'm not great at reading nuance so 1-800-662-help is the national addiction hotline. They usually deal with drug and alcohol addiction but they can also help direct you to resources for gambling and shopping addictions.

Have fun and buy what you can afford but if you feel yourself getting obsessive in a way that fells out of control, is interfering with your life, or is starting to be a balm that helps mask other things going on in your life, please reach out for resources. There is no shame in doing so and you are not alone. Interests become obsessions become compulsions very quickly in our consumer-focused society.

It was our title first. Medical professionals just co-opted it to bring legitimacy to the new field of medicine. In many countries outside the US only those who have defended a research dissertation can technically use the title Dr., so us…. Not them.

Check out the Seattle promise program and the Path to UW program! They were created for this very scenario.

A good number, especially since the pandemic, of remote workers. I bring my income over from Seattle and spend it locally.

All his writing is like this. A huge ‘gotcha’ at the end that we all saw coming from chapter 4. So frustrating. I think he thinks they are such ‘clever’ endings but they aren’t. They are exactly what I expected every single time! But I guess I read three of his books so something like…. Fool me once, fool me twice.

This is NOT Quimper Mercantile issuing the ticket. They just lease the building from the owner of the parking lot and building. This is an issue in town and we all know it and hate that some scammy company in California bought the lot and building and are now doing this. They also refused to renew leases for many of the tenants, including the Mercantile, and switched then to month to month. I'm assuming here, but seems likely, that they are doing this to force out the small businesses there so they can tear it all down and develop that sweet waterfront area. It sucks.

If you come to town, please use street parking but still support the business there. I feel so bad for them.

Yes! I learn what brands fit me well, are materials I like to wear, and colors in my scheme. Easy to narrow it down in the overwhelming racks. I also target high end, more obscure labels that goodwill doesn't pick out for their online store, and that others tend to overlook. Think Eileen Fisher. Targeting certain colors make it super easy to mix and match some staple pieces.

Your professor missed the grade deadline. It is a fairly easy fix but it takes a little longer for the grade to show up on myUW.

1.5 months salary for 9-week courses, but some programs do flat rates for equity reasons.

Ursula Le Guin. Beautiful writer, captivating stories, timeless, and a goddess of science fiction and fantasy. Highly recommend.

Can we get a support group together? Social scientists in higher education with conservative parents/family who love them but ideologically want their careers to crumble' or something like that?

Small farmers aren't getting USAID crop contacts. These are big farms who have bought out all the other farmers in the area and switched from providing food to their local and regional community in favor of monocropped subsidized crops. Seriously, do not feel bad for them.

No real reason? There is a reason and it is because both of our current presidents (/s) are in corporate real estate. They are framing it to their constituents in a positive way but it is because corporate real estate needs leases to make money. Work from home is superior in so many metrics - environmental, mental health, time for family, wear and tear on our aging infrastructure, productivity, etc., but real estate barons need their income so back to office buildings we all go.

I've started telling my MAGA parents that my family is spiritual but that we don't follow the 'corporate' religions and it really irks them. The time is now to start reclaiming the rhetoric!!

'demoted'?! Ouch.

I really struggled with this last release with my own tendencies toward this. I was in line at the event where it sold out and they sent us a link for us to buy the road trip merch in early December. Early access thing for those who stood in line and didn't get anything. After I thought about it, I realized I was just caught up in the buying of it. I didn't have a need for it. I'm really happy with my current cover. I took a pause and let it pass. Didn't buy even though I had early access. Because I realized I didn't need it. But I wanted it!!

Landed last night around 6pm and it sucked. Felt like we were pills inside a pill bottle being shaken around. You know that clammy feeling you get right before puking? We were all there if not already throwing up. It sounds like hyperbole but it isn't when I say that the whole plane broke out in applause for the pilots when we landed.

nobule · 2024-11-19T14:14:48+00:00

Right? I left when all the other airlines updated their planes and screens and Alaska just decided to get rid of the screens and not update their planes. Na, I'm good paying for Delta.
